Autophagy in endosomal mutants
The endosomal and autophagic pathways are essential for the degradation and renewal of cellular components. After a complex maturation process, both pathways converge to their final destination, the lysosome. A close link between these two pathways was described along the last decade, notably through the analysis of ESCRT mutants. Although in mammals ESCRT mutants are unable to complete autopha...
متن کاملAccelerated cell death in Podospora autophagy mutants.
Although autophagy is characteristic of type II programmed cell death (PCD), its role in cell death is currently debated. Both cell death-promoting and prosurvival roles of autophagy have been reported depending on the organism and the cell type. In filamentous fungi, a cell death reaction known as an incompatibility reaction occurs when cells of unlike genotype fuse. Cell death by incompatibil...
متن کاملHuntingtin expression stimulates endosomal-lysosomal activity, endosome tubulation, and autophagy.
An expansion of polyglutamines in the N terminus of huntingtin causes Huntington's disease (HD) and results in the accrual of mutant protein in the nucleus and cytoplasm of affected neurons. How mutant huntingtin causes neurons to die is unclear, but some recent observations suggest that an autophagic process may occur. We showed previously that huntingtin markedly accumulates in endosomal-lyso...
متن کاملEarly endosomes and endosomal coatomer are required for autophagy
Autophagy, an intracellular degradative pathway, maintains cell homeostasis under normal and stress conditions. Nascent double-membrane autophagosomes sequester and enclose cytosolic components and organelles, and subsequently fuse with the endosomal pathway allowing content degradation. Autophagy requires fusion of autophagosomes with late endosomes, but it is not known if fusion with early en...
